Open Saturday, Aug. 27, 2022, 7:30am-1:00pm. U-Pick available: Figs, lots of Muscadine grapes, okra, eggplant, purple-hull peas, green onions, zinnias, a few carrots and jalapeno peppers. Figs are losing some leaves, making the ripe ones are easier to see now. Both grape varieties (Fry Scuppernong Bronze Muscadine and Black Muscadine) are ripe now, with 23-26% sugar content, edible skin (thinner than wild muscadines), and are great for jelly, wine, or eating fresh. For kids' safety, please do not allow them to hang or pull on the single wire that hold up the grapevines. Recent rains have refreshed the zinnias and eggplant, so bring clippers for cutting them. Green onions have re-grown in the cooler temps, so dig up a clump to eat the greens now and plant the white bulbs for future production in a flower pot. We will NOT have picking boxes for sale, so please bring your own container to pick in. We furnish plastic bags for you to pick in and place inside your container, and we will remove the bag of produce for weighing at check-out. If produce is not in a bag, your container weight will be included in the charged weight. Comments are closed.
